A Watch Worn on the Moon Could Rocket to $1 million at Auction

A trusted timepiece that has been truly out of this world, astronaut Dave Scott’s Apollo 15 Bulova chronograph will be up for grabs at RR Auction’s Space and Aviation Autograph and Artifact Auction on October 22 in Boston. The only known personal watch to be worn on the surface of the moon, it accompanied Commander Scott while he and James Irwin drove the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) (first used on that mission) and gathered scientific samples from Mare Imbrium, one of the moon’s largest crater valleys.
